Wondering if I can add an M code to reform on my T1 control QT10? I need to run in reverse due to a boring bar being wrong hand. When I try and do a reform it does not read the M code to reverse the spindle. I put the M code within the process and it did not even read it in auto, had to put it in previous process to run correctly and now reform doesnt read it. Any suggestions?
Seems like there are a lot of headaches and limitations with this T1 control on my machine. Getting frustrated with it all today. I cant restart in auto on any process with my particular T1, now I cant even do a finish pass with the wrong hand tool, I cant groove sensibly with my T1, I cant copy and paste programs or processes. Every time I use this machine its just a constant work around something. Im kinda wishing I had taken the time to retrofit this with Kflop/kmotion like I had origionally planned too. Everyone said it would be crazy to retrofit a Mazak but I feel its crazy fighting with this old control.
Sorry for the rant, let me know if theres anything I can do. Thanks.
